How Napa helps advisors Advocacy NAPA was born out of necessity. Debates over a uniform fiduciary standard and the definition of investment advice under ERISA prove that policymakers in Washington have little understanding of what plan advisors do. Add in major issues like tax reform, the federal budget deficit, the economy’s uncertainty and debates about the future of 401(k) plans and it’s critical that advisors have a strong voice in Washington. That’s where NAPA comes in. We’ve developed powerful grass roots and grass tops campaigns that enable advisors to be heard clearly on Capitol Hill. Plus, NAPA has ASPPA’s political clout and expertise behind it every step of the way. Events Newly branded NAPA 401(k) Summit (March 23-25,2014 New Orleans) – premier industry convention with over 1500 people and 500 advisors expected; NAPA Fly-in Forum with over 100 elite plan advisor Delegates convening in DC to meet with and lobby legislative and regulatory leaders; quarterly webcasts free to NAPA members. Education NAPA provides professional education to plan advisors via the QPFC designation program and has launched the “401(k) Practice Builder” to help broker dealers train and certify advisors interested or dabbling in the DC market. NAPA Net Daily The #1 Daily e-newsletter in the advisor space, sent to almost 40,000 of the retirement industry’s elite professionals each week, the Daily contains the latest analysis and commentary from the NAPA Net portal, the latest insider news about the industry, and breaking news about the latest developments affecting the plan advisor community. NAPA Partner Corner Profiles of NAPA’s provider partners containing profiles value added resources, white papers, territory maps, and news about significant new products and services. Magazine NAPA Net - The Magazine will include in-depth articles and columns focused on the practicing plan advisor published by their own association as well an industry resource directory. Launching in October 2013, it will feature a mix of articles and regular columns by noted experts and advisors to help practitioners keep informed. The Trusted Source For Advisors NAPA has become THE trusted source for advisors, demonstrated through the consistent growth of its membership in the last year and a half.
